Putting aside discussion on whether they're needed...a historics group I'm running with (VRG) is insisting I run with drilled and safety-wired engine and trans drain plug fasteners. In a cursory search through common vendors I'm not able to locate any.
Is anyone aware of pre-drilled engine drain bolt, plate/screen bolt, and trans plugs before I spend the coin on a drill jig? |

Its not possible to use a drilled trans drain plug without abandoning the factory Allen screw design. The engine drain plug and sump retaining nuts are unique and probably have to be drilled. If you bring them here I'll drill them in my milling machine, n/c. |
